Guestbook comments from the manager

Just wanted to thank you for allowing us to visit this property once

again. We had a restful, wonderful time and the place is very conducive

to relaxing and catching up with old friends. I felt as if Rich were an

old friend, too.

We did buy a coffee grinder as a gift to the house. I hope that others

This place needs updating

The best part about this place was the pool. Our kids loved the basketball hoop and spent hours in the water. The rest of the home leaves much to be desired. I can see how it was great back in the 80s, but it doesn't appear to have been updated since then. There are numerous broken pots of fake plants, musty smelling window treatments and it is in dire need of a paint job. We enjoyed the use of the resort waterpark and basketball courts. Aunt Chiladas was a good, authentic place to eat.

We love the charm, originality, and privacy of the house. The landscaping provides fantastic shade during the hot Phoenix summers, and the pool (with swim-up bar) is awesomely refreshing. The master bedroom and bathroom are luxurious and well-designed. Access to the resort facilities is a huge plus (the kids loved the lazy river). The views of downtown and surrounding areas from the multiple vantage points cannot be overstated. This was our second stay, and most definitely won't be our last. If the home ever goes up for sale, we would seriously consider making an offer. All in all, highly recommended.

Fabulous, Funky House with Never Ending views

We (three couples from Orange County) were looking for a place to stay for a quick, spring training weekend.

We had an absolutely terrific time staying at this home. There are so many spots to sit and have a meal or a cocktail. Our two days/nights there didn't leave enough time to try them all! We had cocktails and appetizers while watching the sunset from one of the two eating areas that you can climb to (rock stairways provided) with 360 degree, unbelievable views of Phoenix. We ate our breakfasts in the backyard patio by the pool, right off the kitchen. We enjoyed the pool basketball (perfect play pool - maybe 4 1/2 feet deep) one afternoon and the Jacuzzi was always heated due to the second, separate pool heater. Some of the patio furniture pads/umbrellas were a bit worn, but it was so nice to have pads on everything.

This is not a renovated "granite countertop" house but rather this is an authentic 80s home with beautiful Mexican tiles throughout. Lots of small gathering rooms, bars and places to relax and visit in this eclectic home. The sunken living room boasts a beautiful piano which was an extra bonus for us.

We all enjoy bicycling and had brought our bikes. The Phoenix Mountain Preserve is within 1/4 mile of the home for the more hardy mountain bikers while there is a great "canal trail" (nearly level, dirt/paved trail) that you can ride to from the home for a relaxing 8-mile ride to Scottsdale for lunch.

We walked to a delicious Italian dinner one evening and BBQ'd right in the backyard the second night. Didn't have to get the cars out until time to go.

The inside architecture is interesting in that the bedrooms are not completely private (some walls do not go to ceilings) which we thought was kind of quirky but it didn't hamper our weekend in the least. The only item I'd change about the entire house is to change to white sheets and light comforters on the beds for an updated, clean feel. Don't get me wrong, the linens were clean and coordinating and did fit in to the 80s theme perfect.

As we were leaving Sunday, we realized there were two patios we hadn't even used, both with beautiful views and patio furniture. We will have to come back!

Amazing property!

We were thrilled with this property! It's huge with many levels and areas to get away to. We loved having breakfast on the sunny patio outside the master bedroom in the mornings, lounging at the pool during the day and very relaxing evenings in the hot tub in the evenings. Great character throughout with all the fabulous multi-coloured tiles! The climb to the top of the hill will reward you with a fantastic view. Shoni was a pleasure to deal with and Rich was very gracious showing us around. A very lovely experience!

Fantastic, secluded getaway!

We found this property to be perfect for a much-needed respite. Although there were only the two of us, there was plenty of room for additional friends or family. The house is well-appointed. We chose to prepare most of our meals there. Much of our time was spent lounging at the pool and sipping beverages in the hot tub or beside one of the firepits. I cannot imagine a more comfortable, relaxing setting in which to recover from a hectic business schedule.

The local "host/greeter" was gracious, helpful and available for questions throughout our stay.

We did not utilize the resources of the Hilton resort but the amenities - spa, restaurants, water park - seemed wonderful for those desiring a bit more pampering.

If you want a wonderful escape, complete with your secluded pool, hot tub and a choice of firepits perched on a hilltop overlooking Phoenix, this is perfect.

A weekend to remember

Honestly can not say enough good things about this property! The house it's self is great but I think the old school decor really adds character and charm to a property most say needs to be "updated".

If you're renting this house it's not to stay inside, it's to sit on the many patios and lookout points with breathtaking views.

There were 7 women staying in this house and I can guarantee we will all be back again soon!
